Chapter 189 - Cosmic Rays

(⌒▽⌒)☞☜(⌒▽⌒)

===================

Nick Fury rubbed his bald head. He had high hopes for Stark's potential, but now that Stark was ignoring him, he was at a loss for what to do.

"Agent Johnson, what's your suggestion?"

"... I want to know if you value Stark's abilities or Stark Industries more?"

"Let's hear both. You've had more contact with him, so your suggestions are very pragmatic," Nick Fury complimented Daisy, which was rare.

"If you value Stark himself, then emotional investment is the way to go. Once we're in trouble, he'll definitely lend a hand with his personality.

If you value Stark Industries, then now is a good opportunity. As a publicly listed company, there are many circulating Stark stocks in the market. If we hold onto these stocks long-term and later buy some shares from the board of directors..."

Controlling Stark Industries was something Daisy couldn't do herself. The conglomerate was too large, and her small amount of money wouldn't make a dent.

But S.H.I.E.L.D. had no such problem. S.H.I.E.L.D. in the comics even held Stark shares. They could easily buy a portion of the shares now. Whether for investment or control, they wouldn't lose money.

"If we don't occupy the arms market, our enemies will. Iron Man can't stop wars. We can push the Stark board of directors to continue weapons development, keeping control of this market in our hands, which would benefit world peace. However, in doing so, our relationship with Tony will surely drop." Daisy watched as Nick Fury pondered, and said nonsense.

Nick Fury fell into silence. Daisy's words were clear and straightforward, and he fully understood them. It was a multiple-choice question: choosing Stark Industries meant choosing the present, while choosing Tony Stark meant investing in the future.

"I'll think about it some more," Nick Fury said, looking towards the door, signaling that Daisy could leave. He had to weigh whether to buy Stark himself or the entire conglomerate. Daisy left with some regret.

Of course, she hoped to acquire Stark Industries. The current opportunity was the most suitable. If she could handle the acquisition herself, it would be even better. She could not only launder most of her illegal income but also sell her Stark shares to S.H.I.E.L.D. at a high price and buy them back at a low price. Now, It seemed that Nick Fury still wanted to buy Tony Stark himself...

...

The media continued to praise the Fantastic Four, while Daisy and Maki's acquisition continued. And Danger's experiment had finally yielded results. It was unknown where these cosmic rays had come from, but their enhancement effect was excellent; they could enhance any gene.

The experiment's ratio showed effects on humans on Earth showed the best results, and even those like Daisy, who had mixed alien genes, could be enhanced, albeit with slightly lesser effects.

"The calculation results show that your genes are already stronger than those of ordinary humans, and the probability of a mutation like the Thing is very low," Danger concluded.

The cosmic ray content had been declining, and there was probably only one opportunity for normal exposure. Daisy called Miss Maid over. "Maki, let's enhance together. This is the reward you deserve."

Miss Maid, despite her hard training, had reached the limits of human potential. Without enhancement, her achievements would always be limited.

"Miss, Maki Matsumoto is willing to die for you!" Maki was grateful and excited, speaking Japanese in her excitement.

One was generous and kind, the other dedicated to the utmost. Daisy's demeanor perfectly embodied the spirit of Bushido in Maki's heart, and the two staged an exciting and moving scene of loyalty between lord and vassal.

But the next thing is a bit exciting and shocking...

When Daisy and Maki were about to enter into the specially built round metal room to receive enhancement of cosmic rays, Danger suddenly reminded them.

There was no change in Danger's tone, "Two madams, according to my calculations, your clothes will have a certain obstructive effect. If you want to maximize the effect of enhancement, it is recommended to remove all your clothes."

Daisy looked at Maki from the corner of her eye, who was blushing.

"Why don't I do it after you?" Maki hesitantly suggested.

"No need, let's do it together." It's just some time, and Daisy wouldn't kick Maki out because of small discomfort. It would be too much.

In her mind, this should be similar to when they bathed or went swimming together. They have lived together for more than 2 years, and are very familiar with seeing each other naked.

But just as the two removed their underwear and walked into the metal room, they still found a difference, at least a difference from Daisy's idea in her mind.

The circular room was designed to be very narrow in order to allow cosmic rays to fill every corner of the room. When they two entered the room, they felt the cramped space inside, and their bodies couldn't help but slightly rub against each other.

"Cough" Daisy coughed, noticing Maki's eyes getting more and more wrong, and reminded her to pay attention.

"Yes, yes, I will concentrate and not look at your beau..." Maki's was face covered before she could shout anything more.

It would be too stupid for them to stand face to face, and there was plenty of sitting room in the chamber. Daisy immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, but couldn't help but feel awkward sitting naked in this position and changed to kneeling.

For Maki, sitting on her knees was even more easier as she was Japanese, and the two sat face to face looking silly.

"Miss, your figure is really good..."

"Your figure is also good.... ahem, let's get started, Danger."

Danger then activated the control switch.

The colorful light, so colorful that it exceeded the human retina's limits, was extracted through a special device and refracted into the metal room.

It was quite dazzling! That was Daisy's first reaction. The rays shone on her skin, causing a slight tingling, but nothing more. There were no drastic physical changes to her body or any pain that gave strength.

Just as she wondered if she couldn't be enhanced, Maki on the other side let out a scream.

"It hurts so much! I feel like my bones are melting!" Maki collapsed to the ground from her sitting position, sweating heavily, her muscles tightened to the extreme.

Daisy couldn't maintain her dignified sitting posture and hurried over to check. "Danger, what's going on?"

"Everything is within normal range; this is an inevitable stage before enhancement," the artificial intelligence responded in the same old tone, devoid of any emotion.

Daisy had no choice but to comfort her on the side, "Maki, I'm here with you. You have to hold on."

It had to be said that endurance was an outstanding character of the Japanese, and Miss Maki Matsumoto pushed this trait to the extreme.

She gritted her teeth and endured the piercing pain, slowly sitting up to show that she could still hold on.

Watching her tightly clench her teeth, trembling all over like a sieve, in less than twenty seconds, Maki's hair was as wet as if she had been washed with water. Daisy could only softly encourage her in Japanese from the side.
